Puzzle, Puzzle, What Do You See?

I was delighted to find Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr./Eric Carle when I went thrift store shopping with my mother and the kids.

This is Cheeky's favorite book--the first book she took interest in when she was a baby. It's also been a platform to launch Koko's literary career. Here's her spin off:

Puzzle, puzzle, what do you see?
I see fire looking at me.

Fire, fire, what do you see?
I see turtle looking at me.

Turtle, turtle, what do you see?
I see diaper looking at me.

Diaper, diaper, what do you see?
I see red dirty foot looking at me.

Red dirty foot, red dirty foot, what do you see?
I see bang-goo (translation: fart) looking at me.

Bang-goo, bang-goo, what do you see?
I see oh-ri (translation: duck) looking at me.

Oh-ri, Oh-ri, what do you see?
I see the bible looking at me.

Bible, bible, what do you see?
I see piano looking at me.

Piano, piano, what do you see?
I see pink stairs looking at me?

Pink stairs, pink stairs, what do you see?
I see yellow cup looking at me.

It goes on for a while, but I'll stop here. It's interesting how she omits articles. Korean doesn't have articles, so maybe it's language interference.

I think it is for little kids. I don't know if you got it, but the rest was written by Koko (not an actual author!)
